Moonshine Bandits Sign With Suburban Noize Records

Central California’s Moonshine Bandits have signed with Suburban Noize Records for the release their new studio album "Whiskey and Women" in early 2011. The group is currently streaming new material online at www.myspace.com/moonshinebandits .
 
"We signed with Suburban Noize Records because of their hard work ethic and because they are one of the biggest independent labels on the West Coast. Suburban Noize has an impressive roster of talented artists and we are proud to say that we are part of the movement,” commented Tex from Moonshine Bandits. “We plan to bring a new sound to Sub Noize that has an outlaw country hip-hop vibe and we are confident that the label can give us the proper push we need to take things to the next level.  We look forward to representing Sub Noize and raising a little hell while we do it, because it’s going to be one big-ass party."
 
“Moonshine Bandits really embody what our label is about,” commented Kevin Zinger from Suburban Noize. “Their music doesn’t have any boundaries and they completely exemplify the ‘do it yourself’ work ethic that Suburban Noize was founded upon. Moonshine Bandits add some flavor to the roster and we are happy to have them be a part of the family.”
 
Moonshine Bandits are what you get when you fuse together Johnny Cash and the Beastie Boys with a ton of women & whiskey. These blue collar outlaws have created their own brand of Outlaw Country Rap-N-Roll that has allowed them to tour and perform shows with such diverse acts like Uncle Kracker, REHAB, Tech N9ne, Pepper, Haystak, E-40, and legendary outlaw country singer David Allan Coe. Whether you're a fan of rock, country, or hip-hop, Moonshine Bandits are the soundtrack to kicking back with good friends and some frosty beverages.
 
MOONSHINE BANDITS TOUR DATES:
Dec 12 - Orangevale, CA @ The Boardwalk w/ Hedpe & Big B
Dec 13 - Reno, NV @ The Alley w/ Hedpe & Big B
Jan 20 - Fresno, CA @ Crossroads w/ REHAB

PR: Sozay Releases Video Teaser Online

Los Angeles based rapper Sozay has released a video teaser for his new album “Who Is Sozay?” online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnvVZOIqP_U . The video features snippets from his upcoming video for the track “Last Call” which was directed by Miguel Torres.
 
"The promo is intended to give the viewer a teaser of the many aspects that make up Sozay as an artist. The opening quote not only represents my thirst for knowledge and the importance of history, but is also metaphor for the level of success I hope to achieve,” Sozay commented. “I have incorporated my live performance footage in the clip because it captures what drives me to keep going and connect with my fans. I have my Son in the promo as well as a shot of my last name tattooed on my back to give insight into the fact that family is something of utmost importance to me. I have also included some teaser footage of the music video we shot and intend to release just after the EP drops.”
 

In a time when hip-hop is dominated by weak rappers flashing ice and following chart topping trends, Los Angeles based Sozay prefers to lets his lyrical prowess speak for itself.  Sozay seamlessly combines jaw-dropping rhymes with head nodding beats and infectious hooks, while his unrelenting work ethic has allowed him to rack up more that 1.5 million plays through social networking sites like MySpace. Sozay is currently streaming material from his upcoming new album online at http://www.myspace.com/sozay .
 
SOZAY TOUR DATES:
Dec 16 - Santa Monica, CA @ Club Trip
Jan 15 - Highland Park, CA @ Mr. T's Bowl                 
Jan 30 - West Los Angeles, CA @ Club Good Hurt
